I have a Singer 101, made in 1931. The 101 was the first Singer machine produce with the potted motor. Definitely a keeper.
I will ask DD to get me the serial number of my Koch-Adler. Perhaps I can get her to bring the machine and cabinet back to me as she has not done anything with it. I did take the head to my OSMG so he could figure out what needle it takes and he told me that it takes a 15X1.

Double check the serial number on the machine that you think is a model 31. According to the above link it is a model 66, another good machine.
